This full moon was a joy and a delight. Christine requested that we all come prepared to evoke the magic of the moon together. With the full moon and Samhain so close together...this moon promised extra magical energy. Our gracious hostess Christine greeted us at the door with a wide smile and an open heart. Her home was a glow of candles and the air was fragrant with the aroma of sweet and savory dishes. We embraced and placed the objects we brought with us that represented Earth, Air, Water and Fire on the altar. We gathered in the living room to settle and catch up with each other. Wine, artichoke dip and walnut bread ...yummy! When we where done spilling open about our month and catching up ...we moved into the dining room for dinner.
We began with seasonal fresh veggies and fruit...grapes, pomegranate seeds, lady apples, baby carrots. Christine shared the story of Persephone and the Greek myth of how the seasons came to be. It was a beautiful story and got us in the mood to honor the sacredness of winter. Dinner was healthy vegetarian and delicious.
After dinner we had tea in the living room and Christine lead us in a wonderful meditation. My meditation took me down an old oak tree with smooth walls and lots of light. We met our spirit guides who took us to a special world. My world was filled with nature, butterflies and flowing streams. My ancestors where there and someone told me my theme for the coming year...HEALTH. I also was cut over my right brow with a silver sward and then my guide healed me instantly. No scars and no pain. I realized that attending to my health will allow me to heal any wounds I may have ...and no scars or evidence of the original wound will remain. On the way out of our meditation we met an animal guide. I met a white lamb.
We wrote in wonderful paper scrolls and shared our sacred objects. I brought my Lumarian seed crystal, the water from Chalice Well in Glastonbury, England, my feather fan I use to smudge my house and a 7 day prayer candle.
The coming year for me is about creating a LEGENDARY LEGACY. It starts with taking care of my health and losing the weight I need to loose. Loosing the weight allows me to shed what I don't need so I can be present for what I want. What I want most of all is to work for a company and in a career where my interests and my skills meet. I also want to continue to be in one of the most satisfying romantic relationships of my life.
